Tribute to Mary Poppins

[Cadaverous Pallor]

GC - even as a kid I liked the part where the kids were running through London, then caught by Bert. Bert's talk with them is great. The only part I ever didn't love was the Sister Suffragette number, and I now dig it. As a kid, the whole irony of Mrs. Banks' character (women's rights activist but subservient to her husband) was completely lost on me.

I tried reading the book but it was pretty awful, IMHO. Mary was a total biatch in it, and there's no story arc at all. She shows up, crazy things happen, then she leaves. I'm glad Disney made a whole new story out of it.

I knew you'd post this. I would recommend you see it, but as you watch movies constantly, I figure if you were going to see it you'd have seen it by now.
